Surrendering Your Entire Life to Service to God

Verses: Psalms 101: 1 - 8

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.

My thoughts about the verses:

This chapter deals with the commitment of God’s people to the service of God.  The person that serves God will have the abundance of God added to their life.  Our commitment should be out of our love for God.  This commitment doesn’t come out of fear or desire to have rewards.  When you commitment to service comes from loving God you will be blessed with more than you could ever imagine.

This psalm was likely written by King David as a promise to God.  The promise was from a King to the Sovereign God to defend the land and to listen to God during service.  Other Kings of Israel would follow suit in making the same promise to God.  They all failed in fulfilling that promise to God.

We too need to make the same promise.  We need to offer our life over to God.  We need to promise to live up our life spreading the love of God.  We need to promise to protect the story of our Savior.  We need to offer our home, body, over to God to use as seen fit.  See what we miss is that we are not to make everything happen.  What we need to learn is that we often have to let go and let God be in charge. We learn in those moments that our servant hood is what is important to God. 

Prayer:

We love you dear God.  We thank you for your love.  We praise you for always being with us.  Help us give our lives to you.  Help us be the people that love you.  Help us to never turn away.  In the name of the Almighty God we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you given your life over to God?  Have you promised to love God throughout your entire life?  What do you need to give to God today so that you can serve God with all of your heart?
